Agreed. It's a custom cages cage that I've got in my car and the fit was nigh on perfect tbh.

So do you only want a rear cage then? Look at the options available from custom cages mate. They offer various clubman kits. Custom cages can profile all the additional tubes for you as well. The basic cl4 kit comes in at about £500 I think, then you need someone that can fit it and weld it in for you.

It's all down to what your comfortable with mate. I wouldn't want to put any faith in a £150 roll cage tbh. You may as well drive on track without wearing a seatbelt imo.
What price do you put on something that could potentially save your life?

I'm not far from you then mate. Your welcome to have a look at my cage if you want to see the quality of the custom cages cage.

I've got one of them ebay 150 quid cages its surprisingly really good it fitted perfect all the angles are sound as.... I'm not competing in my car I just wanted something for the odd track day etc etc and for the money it was excellent.... Now I prepare my self to get slated for saying this lol
What material is it?
Going by the majority I've seen its the mounting to the car where the quality issues are. 3 M8 bolts and pissy little washers usually.

It's steel don't know what grade but its not bad atall for the money the floor mountings are ideal It's m10 holes... I drilled 10mm holes " the only part not included that I made were some brackets for the underside of the car" I used an oxyacetylene torch and cut 4 brackets out of 5mm thick steel to mount to the bottom of the car to spread the load of the cage " didn't have to but I chose too " I covered the holes in tiger seal and used m10 bolts and ni lock nuts with a washer unsure on washer size as was just in a box of crap in the workshop ...... Tbh I like it it's decent and well worth the 168 delivered ...... Like I said I don't compete or anything so for me it's perfect

Sorry just seen Sams post ... The mounting issue wasn't too bad the foot plates were angled and sat nice and flush really was impressed and the holes are m10 so a little wider but yeh the idea of this one was big washers and a pissy nut that's why I decided to make under car plates for the money though I'd say good value for money good product

It was here within a week which was awsome 7-10 days he said it would take was here in 5 ..... No rattles atall I used tigerseal in the holes to eliminate water n all that really goodbye I won't be disappointed needs 2 people to fit it though lol was a bit of a pain to get in the car but once uve sussed it it's easy
Really tempted to order one of these myself! Would prefer the one with the cross section though.. Which one are you for?Sound, ill be spraying mine before I fit it anyway but it's looking like ill be ordering one of these badboys later

Mine was from K-Tec but its built by Caged I.e. the Caged Laser People. Also a dash dodger. Agree with the guys, don't scrimp. Why buy a cage when it could do more harm than good. Piccies in the thread below;
